Switching TCP/UDP
Transmission Mode
You can select TCP or UDP as the communication port
for video/audio data.
This function can be used when Mode (video codec
mode) is set to MPEG4 or H.264 and the ActiveX
viewer is used.
Notes
• The function may not operate correctly if you use
personal firewall software or antivirus software on
your computer. In that case, disable the software or
select the TCP mode.
• If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later,
Windows Vista, or Windows 7, disable “Windows
Firewall”. For details, see “Configuring Windows
Firewall” in “When using Windows XP Service Pack
2 or later” on page 9, “Configuring Windows
Firewall” in “When using Windows Vista” on
page 11, or “Configuring Windows Firewall” in
“When using Windows 7” on page 13.

Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the
Connection drop-down list in the Others panel.
TCP: This is normally selected.
When TCP is selected as the communication port,
HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio
communications.
HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual
Web page.
In an environment capable of reading Web pages,
you can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting
the TCP port.
Unicast: When Unicast is selected as the
communication port, RTP (Real-time Transport
Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for
running video/audio data, the video/audio playback
is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If
a firewall is installed between the camera and the
computer, or depending on the network
environment, video/audio may not play back
properly when Unicast is selected. In this case,
select TCP.
